U.S. Cities Database
The SQL file has 29.880 registered cities. All cities are located in the United States.
The SQL file contains two tables:
-
US_STATES: ID, STATE_CODE and STATE_NAME.
-
US_CITIES: ID, ID_STATE, CITY, COUNTY, LATITUDE and LONGITUDE.
The US_CITIES table has all (or almost all) cities from the United States.
